This week's motif is "BIRDS IN PAIRS" - please post your photos here of wild birds captured in pairs (but not procreating).
Thanks to Bobby K. for suggesting this week's motif.
Posting is voluntary, and if your bird pics don't fit the week's motif, you can post these as usual in the Bird Photos section. Only mods can open new motif threads, but all members can post and even guests can view the posts. Multiple posts are allowed too.
Let's post shooting info and standardize our presentation (see format of my first post) so viewers will know how the photo was taken:
Common name (scientific name)
Place and date of capture
Shooting detail.
Romy

Nice stretch on the BWS, TeLyds! Excellent motif shots, Bob.... clearly showing the natural tendency of males to be more colorful.

Nice motif shots from your wide-angle birding lens, Ed! Great symmetry on those shots, Bobby.... love the wide-eyed look of the subjects! Brilliant motif shots, Neon! Mando, those are killer motif shots.... now who needs a 500 mm to get excellent bird photos? Unbelievable action nicely captured, Reyno!
